The holidays are quickly approaching, and I have a quick recipe here I think you readers might appreciate along with a great wine pairing.

Here's a recipe from my new cookbook, Edge of the Plate, available through Amazonkindle.com. You can take a free look at the book with a direct link-up on my webpage listed below. In the mean time, watch out for the wild turkeys in Dayton, they are e... Full story

YAKIMA - The Lady Bulldogs came home empty handed from their state playoffs here Saturday. They were knocked out of the tournament after winning their first match Friday but losing the two that followed later that day and on Saturday. Still, just getting to the giant SunDome with its fivenonstop-volleyball courts, and teams and hometown crowds from all over the state was the well-deserved cap on a winning season for the team that took the district title at home a week before. "We improved a l...
WAITSBURG - Seven Cardinals and two Bulldogs were elected all league in the District 9 Southeast 2B football league this season. For the Cardinals, this is more than in any other year in recent memory. Head coach Jeff Bartlow was elected Coach of the Year. Quarterback Zach Bartlow, running back Kris Cady, receiver TJ Hofer and offensive lineman Tre Brannock were elected by the league's coaches for their positions on offense. Defensive back Justin Armstrong, linebacker Grant Germain (... Full story
COLFAX - Dean Bickelhaupt and his Bulldogs knew their odds of beating Colfax were slim. But that wasn't really the point of being in the playoffs at this stage in the team's reconstruction. Colfax beat Dayton 47-0 a week ago last Friday, ending the Bulldogs' first season under Bickelhaupt as head coach. But in many ways, it was one of the best seasons in a decade. The team won three games, including the two tiebreakers to qualify for the playoffs. Two of its players, Colton Bickelhaupt and...

WAITSBURG - The Cardinals were the only Touchet Valley team still standing in the playoffs this weekend after trouncing Oroville 49-13 at home Saturday. The win ends the Hornets' season while pitting WP against DeSales for a rematch at 5 p.m. on Friday at Edgar Brown Stadium in Pasco. After a fruitless Hornets drive on first possession, the Cardinals got on the board quickly with a 12-yard Bartlow pass to TJ Hofer for a touchdown and the same combination for the two- point conversion rev...
Saturday's quarter final game against DeSales will be different for the Cardinals in two important respects: it will be an away game on the neutral territory of the Edgar Edgar Brown stadium in Pasco, and the stakes will be much higher in this loser-out hurdle on the way to the semi final. But in almost every other way, WP is preparing once again for the Irish' versatile repertoire of ground and air assaults against a defense that has had the grip of artificialturf under its cleats only once before this season. DeSales quarterback Jere( m...
PRESCOTT - Saturday's loss to Shoreline Christian left the WP Tigers deflatedfollowing a tough, loser-out quarterfinal game in Prescott. The final score was 2-1. "We're disappointed," said Prescott senior Jose Esquivel. "But they were a very strong team. I think they were the strongest defense we've faced all season." The Tigers, an undefeated first-year team, progressed toward the championship rounds with confidence but met a rock-hard defense in the determined Shoreline Christian, a seasoned...

I am grateful to Mr. Matthee for his preemptive rebuttal of my remarks on high school football in the Burg on Nov.11, and for taking the idea seriously. Writing something that may be controversial seems like a waste if the presentation is not attacked, so much so that I have often thought of writing my own rebuttal. If I did, I would mention two things. One, it (a decrease in attention paid to school sports) will never happen. At least not for a long, long time. We don't need to worry that anything will impact our high school team sports....
Having just returned via one of our rooter busses this evening from Waitsburg, I wanted to make sure the first thing I did upon returning was to thank Waitsburg High School and community for the warm hospitality they showed us this weekend. Of course the football team roughed us up a bit, but that's not what I wanted to thank you for of course. Between superintendent Carol Clarke, principal/athletics director Stephanie Wooderchak, retired superintendent Robbie Johnson, and I assume some great parents, our visit to your community Saturday ni...
(Editor's Note:) In his Veterans' Day speech to Waitsburg High School on Nov. 10, Ells Bartlow shared with students and the communitysix results produced by wars: casualties, heroes, presidents, songs, character and memorable quotations. Here are the words this local veteran spoke in honor of his comrades. First of all, wars of course bring causalities. The Civil War caused more deaths than all the other wars involved in our history. Over 600,000 died in that war, and over 400,000 were w...
It was a year ago this week when we were introduced to the rhythms and rituals of producing a community weekly in the Touchet Valley after we bought the Times from Loyal and Kathy Baker. We had no idea at the time what a gratifying adventure it would become. In that first week before Thanksgiving 2009, we were totally focused on writing stories and taking pictures for our first issue while stepping onto the steep learning curve with ropes and crampons. Just making it through the first night felt like finals week. But slowly, as the weeks went... Full story

DAYTON -In February 2005, a young Dayton man was sitting in an airport in Kuwait passing the time while waiting to fly home on a two-week break. He was in his second tour of duty in Iraq. That's when he overheard two young soldiers behind him talking about the coolest thing that had happened to them at Christmas time. Some tiny town in Washington state had made and filled Christmas stockings and mailed them to soldiers in Iraq, they said. There were newspapers from the town, goodies, handmade...
WAITSBURG - She's nine, barely 2.5 feet high and weighs a "petite" 150 pounds. He's three, as tall as an NBA star and still growing, and weighs just 200 pounds shy of half a ton. Oh yeah, and he has a hump that's the envy of quasimodo. If this were a pair of humans, they'd be considered a pretty odd couple. But as Waitsburg's celebrity camel and his new sidekick, they're perfect together. At least so believes the owner of Izzy the camel and Whinnie, a miniature Sicilian donkey. "With his size, I...
